Choosing a major or minor

This resource explains how to submit an Academic Plan Change Request via myWCU. Undergraduate students have the ability to submit plan change requests, such as: change of major and add/remove minor, additional major, certificates and certifications through their myWCU account.

In University College, we are committed to three ideals: exploration, interdisciplinarity, and access. We are the college of exploration as we are home to students working with the Exploratory Studies Program. Exploratory Studies is for students who have not yet declared a major and are working to find their path. This program is committed to supporting students so they can find the right path to help solve the problems of tomorrow. If students find that the problems they want to help solve require expertise in various fields, they may major in one of the interdisciplinary programs in University College:the Liberal Studies major or the Professional Studies concentration. These programs allow students to build customized degrees that require students to build expertise in multiple areas. University College is also home to a number of support services that help students succeed at WCU including the Academic Development Program (ADP), the Achieve! Program, the Learning Assistance and Resource Center (LARC), the Office Of Services For Students With Disabilities (OSSD), the Ram Initiative, the Summer Bridge Program, and the Writing Center.

Academic advising is an educational partnership between a faculty member and a student whose goal is the student's academic, personal, and professional success. Advisors and advisees collaborate to help students achieve their aims. Advisors explain policies, identify resources, and give advice; however, students are ultimately responsible for making the decisions that will keep them on track.

The Career Development Center is a comprehensive centralized career center for students and alumni.

The Graduate School provides comprehensive services for prospective and current graduate students.
